not required here—that is, for this position.] I can recommend him.

Metropol, adjacent to the one he occupies, in view of the fact that for
his work and receiving visitors he requires a separate room in addition to the one occupied by his family;

food products from some Soviet farm near Moscow, close to the city,
in consequence of the doctors' absolute prohibition against Comrade
Kritzman consuming products from warehouses.
